CPAC TO THE EXTREME!!!!
The annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) begins tomorrow in Washington. Last year’s conference set a record in attendance and this year, with Glenn Beck headlining, CPAC was moved to a larger venue with the expectation of even more people showing up. The main topic will be the GOP’s strategy—especially heading into midterm election, but this year, they're getting X-TREME. At night, CPAC will transform into XPAC. Fox News says, “CPAC Organizers are trying to turn up the hip quotient with video games and rap.” Co-created with Stephen Baldwin, “Epic Nights” will feature a mystery guest--"somebody of Joe-the-Plumber stature." The XPAC site says, “It will be the scene of a late-night "rap/jam session" on Thursday and a conservative comedy lineup on Friday. I'm pumped!! The AC/DC's blasting out of my stereo as we speak!
